Design Overview

This background job is composed of two steps processing. It will have a threading assignment and a business logic processing.

Thread assignment program will filter eligible records from transfer header table and other associated transfer-related tables. Based on its system parameter settings, it will process unshipped and partially shipped 'overdue' transfers. If this functionality is enabled (by setting the system parameter Transfer Close Overdue to Yes), then this program will evaluate transfers to determine if they are overdue. The way that a transfer is considered overdue depends on the source and destination locations. There are separate system parameters for each of store to store, store to warehouse, warehouse to store, and warehouse to warehouse types of transfers. . These records are chunked and Thread ID is assigned for each. They will be stored temporarily in a staging table.

The Business logic program will process all records from the staging table. Using bulk processing, this program will update the records from transfer header and other associated transfer tables. For unshipped transfers, the transfer status is updated to delete and transfer reserved and expected inventory is backed out on ITEM_LOC_SOH for the sending and receiving locations respectively. For transfers that are shipped but not fully received, an entry is made into doc_close_queue table. These transfers are picked up by docclose batch and closed after reconciliation. It will free up and clean the staging table afterwards. There is a STOP ON NEXT feature in bulk processing (through a loop) where Administrators can stop this batch with a flip of this indicator.
